Absolutely fantastic! Thank you SO much! Your images definitely make me want more Hakuhodo brushes (I just received my first order from them today – very excited to try them out!), I’m just anxious about the price increase in January. I hope it isn’t too much.

Thanks for your links! I can’t read Spanish :( but your pictures are so good – it’s so useful to see pictures of Hakuhodo brushes! I’ll keep watching your blog for when you post pictures of your new brushes!

Your guide to Hakuhodo brushes is nothing short of amazing. Thank your for taking the time to post such a thorough review. I see that you are currently on hiatus, but on the off chance you have a moment to respond, I am posting a follow-up question. It’s nigh impossible to buy a brush sight unseen, and given Hakuhodo’s less than liberal return policy, I have tried to make the best use of any information I can find on blogs. What do you think of the B509BkSL? You have the distinction, it seems, to have been the only person to have posted on this brush–hence my questions. Is the B509BkSL as luxuriously soft as the B505BkSl? The latter I actually purchased on your recommendation, and I absolutely adore it, for it’s the only blush brush that my sensitive skin tolerates. Not that I have tried all that many, but the 210 by Hakuhodo irritates my cheeks to the point that it obviates the need for blush at all thanks to the redness it causes. :) Also, is the B509BkSL dense? Thanks again.
